lyrics

Anything But This
Written, performed and co-produced by Melissa Moshé (ASCAP 2013).

I just want to drink straight from the bottle.
Close my eyes until March 5th
And wrap my head around a million other thoughts
Anything but this.
Anything but this.

And I just want to leave the space that you occupy.
Allowing my heart a second to breathe
And bring some kindness back to my soul.
Anything for me.
Anything for me.

So stop lying to yourself
Stop lying to yourself
We all know this probably shouldn’t be
Take the time to really know
To me you answered long ago
Leaving me like this
Leaving me like this

And I just want to disappear for another month
Remove myself from these shadows of shame
And leave the life I’ve come know
Find refuge where you’ll never go
Leaving all this
Leaving all this

So start talking to yourself
Start talking to yourself
Figure out exactly what this is
Take the time to really know
To me you answered long ago
Leaving me like this
Leaving me like this

And stop lying to yourself
Stop lying to yourself
We all know this probably shouldn’t exist
And take the time to really know
To me you answered long ago
Leaving me like this
Leaving me like this.
